Tata Nelson I quote Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do

South African history takes a Different leg,

I wonder if leaders such as Tata still live amongst us

The nation is calling

The nation is mourning

Our hero has fallen

Let us bind and stay kind, invest in the children of our own kind

Regardless of the colour of their skin

Regardless of the colour of their skin

In the jungle

The mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle

The mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Ngizwa kukhuluma izwi ngaphakathi kwami

(I hear the voices inside me)

Lifuna ukuphuma kodwa akuvumi

(Wanted to come out but it hard)

Liyaqhubeka lelilizwi liyalila

(These voices keep crying and shouted)

Likhihla isililo sikanandi,

(But my mouth wont let them)

Liqaqambisa igazi kushwabane umlomo

(While others are free)

Lona ozama ukukhuluma, lapho

(These voices say South African History Takes a Different Leg)

Abanye begeqa amagula

Lamagama ath South African History takes a Different Leg

I have been day dreaming a lot about what

The future holds

It fears me

It tears me,

Words are slim

Emotions are thick

My thoughts scream

South African History takes a different leg,

I wonder if we will be able to survive this.

If leaders such as Tata Bantu Stephen Biko

Such as Tata Martin Luther King Jr

Such as uTata Nelson Mandela still live amongst us?

Because things will never be the same

The nation is calling

The nation is mourning

Our Hero has fallen

Our Hearts are bleeding

Our hearts are hurting

In his teachings we will find healing

Let us bind

And stay kind

Invest in the children of our own kind

Regardless of the colour of their skin

Tata Nelson I quote Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do

South African history takes a Different leg,

I wonder if leaders such as Tata still live amongst us

The nation is calling

The nation is mourning

Our hero has fallen

Let us bind and stay kind, invest in the children of our own kind

Regardless of the colour of their skin

Regardless of the colour of their skin

In the jungle

The mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle

The mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight
